Mangalore, Mar 6: Police are yet to get any clues about the persons who murdered Thokkottu rickshaw driver Lancy D'Souza at Sevanthigudda near Permannur near here on Wednesday March 5. Since the motive behind this gruesome murder is not unearthed, it has become difficult to reach to the murderers.

Sources have said that murder might have taken after 10 pm on Tuesday March 4. However, murder came to light only on Wednesday morning when a local found a damaged autorickshaw on the middle of Gandi road near Sevanthigudda. When he went near the rickshaw, he found Lancy lying in the pool of blood. His head had been smashed with a huge stone.
As reported earlier Lancy had maintained a good relationship with all. He had no problem whatsoever with anyone one. He was living with mother, wife and two and half year old child at Nithyadharnagar. His brother is working abroad while his father had died several years ago.

Some sources said that there were some misunderstanding between one Ashok D'Souza and Lancy over certain issues. But these problems had been settled in the police station. There are likely chances that he might have become the victim of some family or personal rivalry, said police.
Lancy's wife Prameela is a lab technician in a city hospital. Every night he used to go home after 10 pm. On Tuesday, he was watching India-Australia cricket match on TV at home and after the match he had been to rickshaw stand. But he did not go home in the night. When Prameela told her brother about this, he came to Thokkottu rickshaw stand on Wednesday morning where he came to know about the murder.
Ullal police led by inspector Jayanth Shetty are investigating the case.
